Which problem is this PR solving?
Currently, Refinery announces its presence to peers immediately upon startup. This causes the sharding algorithm to direct other peers to forward traces to the newly added Refinery instance, even though it might not be ready to process them. As a result, any spans forwarded before the Refinery is fully operational are lost. This fix ensures that Refinery only announces itself to peers once it is fully ready to accept and process traffic, preventing any loss of spans during startup.

I have tried to use the
health
module as a signal to indicate when therouter
is ready for thepeers
module. However, due to the way theinjection
library works, therouter
starts after thepeers
module. As a result, whenpeers
checks in with the health system, therouter
may not have registered itself yet. This can causeIsReady
to return true prematurely, before therouter
is included in the health checks.Short description of the changes
